CenterPoint Electricity: From Waller to Woody Acres

At CenterPoint, electricity service is top priority. That's because CenterPoint Energy is the Houston area's primary electric utility provider.

That also includes reading energy meters every month, billing you for the electricity you use, and also maintaining power lines. In the case of an outage, Houston residents should contact CenterPoint directly.

CenterPoint Rates

CenterPoint rates are passed on to you directly from the power generation companies. The pricing you see on your utility bill includes a direct charge for the cost of the energy itself, charges for the delivery of that energy, and also any applicable taxes you owe on that service. If you're looking for better CenterPoint rates, your best bet is to research energy providers that service your area.

Energy providers work directly with energy supply companies to reduce or change the cost of the commodity itself. Thanks to deregulation, these companies let you continue your standard utility service as normal, but help secure better energy supply rates for your household. They buy power wholesale and pass on their great rates to you! Most energy providers also offer green energy, business rates, and innovative plans including price protection and rate caps.
